In this episode, Eva Lianne Veldkamp, Patti Tutalo and Koni Duniya talk about Speaking Up. In this episode, we discuss: the importance of being your authentic self and how it relates to feeling safe enough to speak up; the different channels of speaking up; coping mechanisms and why individuals sometimes adapt to a group even though they don’t want to; and how being open and honest can be beneficial.
